How to partition 250g hard drive

I found partition tools such as FDISK and DM GHOST software tools seems not support the new 250GB SATA hard drive in the application. How to partition the 250g hard drive?

SATA hard disk is to support these tools software. The such problems of use of partition software have occurred on the South Bridge ICH5 motherboard, because they are based on the DOS platform, you must use compatibility mode (Compatible Mode), when set to enhanced mode (Enhanced Mode) will trigger the failure that the software can not use.

In addition, the use of 160GB and larger capacity SATA drives, due to this type of partition software FDISK (Windows 98 version included) and DM introduced earlier, it can not well support more than 137GB hard drive 48bit addressing, it may lead to inexplicable failures,
So the most secure way is to install SP1 or SP2 of Windows XP (or Windows 2000 SP4), before the installation of the system, only hours only spend to install a partition. after install the system, modify the registry, through "Start → Run", type regedt32 command, open the Registry Editor, Create a new subkey under the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ Atapi \ Parameters], named as EnableBigLba, type is DWORD, value is 1. Then use the "Disk Management" feature in the "Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Computer Management" to create the rest of the district.
